The Rib-Tickling Explanation Behind Mick Schumacher’s Dog’s Name

Mick Schumacher is an animal lover. Before the Australian Grand Prix, the Haas man visited the famous Australia Zoo. In addition, Mick owns six dogs, and he has named one out of the six Bobby. A peculiar name for a dog, but Mick has a reason for it. Turns out, not just animals, Mick is a fan of all things adorable. And he named his dog Bobby after a famous movie character.

Mick Schumacher is a dog lover

Mick owns six dogs, loves to visit the Zoo, and also watches animated movies. One such movie, namely Despicable me, introduced us to minions. Minions are cute little yellow creatures. And apparently Mick loves them. So much so, he named one of his dogs after a minion called Bobby.

One of Mick’s 2.7 million followers on Instagram became curious about why his dog is called Bobby. And to answer that question, Mick just replied with a minion’s photo.

This gives his fans a fair idea of what he likes to watch. We know the Haas driver also owns five other dogs, as he once named them all in an interview.

Seeing this, one Twitter user made an assumption about Mick’s dog named Oscar. However, we don’t think he has got this one right.

Well, whatever the reason may be. We doubt Mick will have time this weekend to clear the air and answer all questions surrounding the names of all his six dogs.

F1, the traveling circus moves to Europe

The reason Mick will not have any time is that the world’s biggest circus makes its way to Europe, for the first time in the season. Specifically, Formula 1 is traveling to Italy for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The first of the two Italian Grand Prix.

The second is the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The Haas team faced a difficult weekend at the Australian Grand Prix. Mick and teammate Kevin Magnussen finished at P13 and P14, respectively. Something the team as a whole would want to change at the weekend race.
